One week on Core

I made it through, imperfectly, one week on the WW Core Plan. It's ok. I still have cravings for things like candy corn or bagels with butter but on the whole, its not bad. Whole wheat pasta will take a little getting used to--its the texture, not the taste. I made a pot of chili today that I will eat tomorrow and the rest of the week. I did it by cooking up 2 lbs. of ground beef, mushrooms and onions. Approximately half of the mixture went into the chili (Bush chili beans are core), along with other seasonings, a can of tomato sauce and diced tomatoes with green chilis (I didn't even realize I had bought that kind of diced tomatoes until I saw something green in the pot). For lunch, I took some of the ground beef mixture, put it over polenta and added taco sauce. It was quite tasty.

I am finding that I like to have my main meal at lunch. It makes sense. I eat a hearty lunch and when I get hungry again, I can have a lighter evening meal. Since I had lunch so late this afternoon, I'm still not ready for supper.

It is viciously cold out tonight. I will think twice about going out for aquasize. I have pretty much decided to drop out of both classes but use the techniques that worked well for me on my own. The teachers get bothered when I don't do exercises that cause me pain/discomfort and want to help. I just want to be left alone to do what works for me.

Soup--it is soup weather. Cauliflower soup. Chicken barley soup sounds good too. That will give me a project for the evening.
